Illies The Illies consists of: Singer/Song Writer J. Masters (Lead Vox./Rhythm Guitar) has been stacking his song books one after another for the past 6 years, every song with a distinct style and every note hit with direct intention to make you want to press rewind. J's songwriting has been mainly influenced by Bradley Nowell, Jack Johnson, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Hendrix, and Dave Matthews. Keef "Rabbit" Townsend (Vox./Lead Guitar) is mastering the art of weaving melodic leads between the knitting of J's patterned words and rhythms while keeping the vocal harmony ringing. Rabbit has an incredible, unique style and has been awarded "Steaziest Guitar Player Ever"by my mom. Antwonio Melendez (Sax/Percussion/Flute/Back Vox) out of Long Beach, CA brings undeniable west coast flavor to the table.OG member of Jah Horns, Melendez knows how to bring a horn section to life. Also a singer songwriter, Melendez brings a 3rd vocal harmony to your ears. Aaron "Dubbs" Reed (DRUMS) has played with many credible groups and has been fine tuning his style.Reed's love for reggae has brought him to be well educated in the style. Reed's bag of hits and dynamics turnsa fresh tune into a bumpin' groove.
Growing deep in the vast wilderness of Southern Oregon, There's a blooming crop of musicians who claim they are "Mary Jane's Favorite Band". The Illies are responsible for unforgettable melodies, untouchable rhythms, and stylistic song writing that intrigues the mind, body, and soul. Leading the band is the hard hittin' dynamic duo of front men J & Rabbit, words can't describe the sound of the two in action. With a clean but dirty combination of Reggae, Dub, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Ska, and Surf Rock, The Illies bring the party and keeps the fire raging until the cops come or until the crowd evacuates..Eternal students of music and steez, the band is constantly evolving, growing beyond expectations and above their local habitat. Expanding across the land in a van to rock the f out at your house party or favorite venue.
